What typical jobs cost to dump in Merrimack
| Load | Weight | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| One 8-ft pickup bed of mixed construction debris (2.5 yd³) | 1,210 lb | $112 |
| 25-square roof, one layer of architectural shingles (7.2 yd³) | 5,250 lb | $486 |
| 1,000 sq ft of 1/2-inch drywall (3.4 yd³) | 1,600 lb | $148 |
| 100 sq ft of 4-inch concrete | 5,000 lb | no concrete rate |
| A 20-yard load of mixed debris (20 yd³) | 9,680 lb | $895 |
Merrimack weighs loads, so the fee follows weight: the 25-square roof costs 4.3 times as much as the pickup load because shingles weigh 731 lb a yard against 484 lb for mixed debris. Figures are this site's arithmetic on the published rate, with weights from EPA's conversion factors and the manufacturer figures in the methodology. The schedule has no separate line for concrete, so those are not costed here.
Dumpster rental or dump runs?
Bin There Dump That (New Hampshire franchise) lists a 20-yard in New Hampshire at $750 with 2 tons included, and a 10-yard at $550 with 1. A full 20-yard of mixed debris weighs about 4.8 tons, more than those included tonnages, and the price lists print no overage rate. Dumping the same 20 cubic yards in Merrimack would cost $895 in fees, but it means about 8 pickup trips. For a single room or a small roof the trips can win; for a whole-house job the rental usually does. The guide to dumpsters, bag services and junk removal compares the options.
